IRC Channel

Well, talking with Woo (admin of tux-irc.net) we are starting a support project. Right now we are starting our own channel, and we try to support every solution and help every user... you can reach us now at irc.tux-irc.net:6667, channel #iphone-support

Hope to see u there!

IRC and help for iPhone users...

With all the drama and the "open war" surrounding the different methods for Activate/Jailbreak/Unlock the iPhone, I'm beginning to think that the support community is fading.

IRC is a great way to get in touch with people who share the same interests as you and, yes, to get support if you need it, but right now the "usual" channels for getting help or just to talk about the iPhone are either war campaigns or bashing meetings.

I have met some people who are actually glad when I, or any other room member, gives them support. That persons usually leave comments such as "hey, this is a great community, where people are willing to help, thanks!". That's what makes my day. I'm NOT in this for the money... in my particular case, I love apple and makes me happy when people walk away with their problems solved and happy because they can use their iPhone or iPod Touch the way they want to.

Maybe some of them are what I call "professional unlockers" or scammers, for short. Those people are in that just to make money and though I don't agree with that, there is no real way for me to know, so I help anyone I can.

My personal take on the different methods is theme for another post (STILL lazy...), but I wanted to get this out of my head.

If you need help with your phone/touch, look for me... I hang out at TuX-IRC.Net (known by some as irc.ziphone.org) in channel #ziphone and in irc.osx86.hu in channel #iphone. If I'm around, feel free to PM me and ignore the usual BS that floats around nowadays.

BTW, before finishing, I would like to mention that if I could have my way, I would have a channel just for helping and informing people. No war, No Bashing. 

If I EVER get around to create such a channel, I would be VERY happy if I could gather my personal "IRC list of good people/great helpers". In no particular order (I consider all of you my friends):

• SunnyD
• Eastyboy
  
• JEsTer
• DrkRealm
• LiKeFRe
• geeb

Well, here's hoping!
